W 't Frank Lee, the veteran wool buyer who has had years of ex- periencj in buying and handling wools gives out to the Gazette some good advice to tne growers in the handling and care of their wools after shearing. "In the first place," said Mr. Leo' "I would advise the growers to be more careful in the sacking of their wool. Too much dirt and rubbish is allowed to go into the sacks with the wool. When the wool is brought to the warehouses each sack is cut open and carefully looked over by the board of grad ers prior to baling. Everything is noted and kept for future refer ence. "I would also caution the gnw- ers to be more careful in tying up the fleeces as they are taken from the sheep's back," continued Mr. Lee. If the fleeces are not prop- erly tied up they will fall apart and cannot help but present a bad appearance which is detrimental to the grower. "Take for instance, the wool sold by Nat Webb at the recent sales which brought the lop price. lhe fact that this wool was secure ly and carefully tied with the fleshy side out made it show up well aud was one of the main rea sons why this wool topped the sale. "One of the best cared for clips that was passed upon by the grad ers this season was the lot owned by Newt. Whetstone. It was all carefully tied with the fleshy side out and the buyer could see at a glance as to the quality and staple. It looked so well that the buyer could not help but be impressed With tbeJGne condition of the wool. Mr. Whetstone has one of the best arranged plants that I have seen anywhere. "Machine sheared wool is pref erable to the hand sheared wool. It can be handled in better shape, and the fact that is longer makes it more desirable."

Heppner and Morrow county people were agreeably surprised last Saturday evening when the announcement was made public that a regular Sunday train ser vice Wculd be installed on the Heppner branch of the O.

Oregon's new weed law, drawn and introduced by Representative Barrett, of Athena is to be strictly enforced in Umatilla county, ac cording to action taken bv the Umatilla county court. The wheat and grain fields Rre to ba kept clear as far aa possible of Russian thistle, Canadian thistle, white mustard atd cockle burr. The new law ia far reaching and if rigidly enforced will be a serious problem for all Morrow county farmers who have weeda on their farms that come under the pro visions of the law. lhe law makes it compulsory for the destruction of the weeds named in the law and for all who neglect to do this it is possible for a lot of trouble to be stirred up. Under the provisions of the law it is the duty of every road super. visor to ascertain whether or not there is in his district any Russian thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese thistle, white mustard, cocklebur, or silver salt bush, and before anv of the weeds have shed bloom or commenced to form seed, the road supervisor must serve notice in writing upon the owner or occu pant of the lands, giving notice of the name of tne weeds to be re moved and a description of the land upon which the weeds are growing. Three copies of the notices are to be posted on the lands. After 10 days notice if the owner or occupant fails to destroy the weeds then it is the duty of the road supervisor to do the work of destruction, employing as much help as needed. The expense in curred will constitute a first lien on the land. The supervisor will A be allowed a salary of S3 per dav for doing the work. The law provides that if any person or persons or corporation shall knowingly permit any of the weeds to go to seed on improved or unimproved, enclosed or unen closed lands shall constitute a mis demeanor with a severe penalty. The road supervisor is liable to a heavy fine for allowing weeds to grow along the public roads. Plenty of moisture aud gtrlS raining is the weather record f;sx the week. Fto the entire month of Juijs the weather has been favorable fbx growing and now that a good soar ing rain lias fallen all crops htjm flattering. Reports from all ovsr Moires county are that the crops are sx celleut. Grass is now good andtheraEgrw will be benefitted by the inoistaUa. Hay harvest which has just c-csa-menced in the northern pari 2 the county will be retarded 6ora& what by the rains, however tie-i is no damage. The first cutihsjs of alfalfa will ba a little late mg to the moisture and eo,&D weather which keeps the alfalfa growing making it later to ripens The fruit crop will be aboESt average. M. D.
